ARMENIA-AZERBAIJAN-KARABAKH-MP-OPINION

Armenian diplomacy must demand that the international community apply sanctions against Baku because of constant provocations by Azerbaijan on the Line of contact, said Hrayr Karapetyan, Armenian MP from ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Head if the Commission for Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs. 

He believes that the war is not obviously over today, and this is proved by Azerbaijan's violation of the ceasefire and its reluctance to withdraw snipers from the Line of contact. "For their part, both international structures and superpowers are taking no efficient measures to remove these provocations and balance the situation. These organizations' statements are not effective, as they are addressed to all the parties to the conflict, while the source of the provocations is only Azerbaijan. Consequently, the calls for maintenance of the ceasefire Agreement should be addressed to Baku", he said.

Karapetyan thinks that Azerbaijan is not really ready to unleash a new war, otherwise, he would not be slow to resume its aggression against Karabakh. "Armenia should adequately respond to all these attacks. Meanwhile, our diplomacy should be severer and demand the international organizations take strict measures, including sanctions against Baku, and not make stereotyped appeals or statements", he said.
